[Verse 1]
Girl, I know what he can give you
Every single day he'll give you
Will be wearin' Paris gowns and diamond rings
There is nothing he can't buy you
And I cannot tell a lie you
Know with me you'll never have those things

[Chorus]
But glitter and gold
Never can keep you warm at night
Glitter and gold
Never can make a wrong of right
Girl, you're gonna find
You'll have my sweet, sweet lovin' on your mind

[Verse 2]
You'll be eatin' caviar
And ridin' in a chauffeured car
And all your friends will say, "How lucky can she be?"
He'll be keepin' you in style
But, you'll remember all the while
The happiness you used to have with me

[Chorus]
'Cause glitter and gold
Never can keep you warm at night
Glitter and gold
Never can make a wrong of right
Girl, you're gonna find
You'll have my sweet, sweet lovin' on your mind
[Outro]
Glitter and gold
Glitter and gold
Well, he may be rich (Glitter and gold)
But he can't give you happiness like I can now
(Glitter and gold)
Well, glitter and gold
Gonna be on your mind now (Glitter and gold)
Well, glitter and gold now
